Yeehaw partners — we have a WINNER! 🎉🥇🤠

Huge congratulations to Brianna Page, our lucky competition winner, who’ll soon be enjoying the 2026 SFLS Calendar. It’s truly the gift that keeps on giving, with a monthly serotonin boost delivered by an absolutely beautiful lineup of world-class lappies. 🦴🗓️🌏

Massive thanks to everyone who joined the club, renewed memberships, and threw their name in the ring — you’re all winners in our book 🌟🏆🫶🏽

And an extra-special, standing-ovation thank you to Katherine Vanyai, who very generously donated this wonderful calendar prize. You are, as always,(p)awesome! 🐾💙🤍

Lappie New Year friends! 🎆🎇

As we charge into 2026, it’s time to tick off an important to-do: FLCV membership renewals are now due. If this task is still living rent-free in your holiday brain, consider this your gentle but firm nudge. We believe in you. You’ve got this. ✅ 🧠🏖️☀️

As a little sweetener, if you renew by 9am, Friday 9 January, you’ll go into the draw to win a 2026 SFLS Calendar. 🗓️🌟

Already renewed? Gold star, you’re in ⭐️
Joining before the cut-off? Welcome, also in.👋🏽
Still procrastinating? Giddy up, partner. There’s still time (albeit a fleeting amount) to make it happen and be in the running! 🐎

The SFLS Calendar, produced annually by the Southern Finnish Lapphund Society (UK), is extremely sought after (Lappie stardom is no joke). This year’s edition is extra special, with Australian-owned lappie, Moose, on the cover! We’re so stoked we could zoom, wiggle, and high-pitch bark all the way to next year! 💐🐾🩷

To make things easy peasy, you can renew via the FLCV website here 👉🏽 https://www.flcv.org/members/ 👈🏽

✍🏽 Admin Post – Advertising on the FLCV Page 🇫🇮

Hi everyone 👋🏽

🚨Just a quick reminder about advertising in the group 🗞️

To keep things nice and fair, we don’t allow posts promoting businesses or services unless the FLCV Committee has given approval. The only exception is for our current club sponsors — if that’s you, please be sure to check in with the Committee.

If you’re ever unsure, please shoot us a quick message before posting. We’re always happy to help 💙

So in short:
👍🏽 You posting snaps of your cutie patooties serving you the most Oscar-worthy puppy dog eyes for a pizza crust? 1000% YES! 📸 🥹

👎🏽 Esmé starting a consultancy and offering your doggo 10% off their first snack hustle coaching session…AND a set of steak knives…AND not 1 but 2(!!!) pet hair magic gloves for the first 100 callers? Ahhh…soz Esmé, no thank you. ⛔️🔪🧤

You’re picking up what we’re putting down lappie legends 👊🏽

Thanks for keeping the page fun, fair and lappie obsessed 🐾✨💙
